The Final Upload

I have not posted for a few weeks, this is because I have been focusing on the write for the last few weeks it also means I will be not be making the messaging system or any further updates then the ones I have posted about. This was to ensure the best report possible

The last two weeks

I have been trying to create a player character game object this will be used to save the players choices and selections, however at the moment the code seems to be makeing to many of the objects I am trying to change this

As I PromisedThe video of the Added Content

This week

I have been generating content for the system I plan to upload a video off this early next week

I have also used the on event trigger function to make in environment teleport zone

Quick update

At the moment I am working on the write and adding content to the 3d world early next week I shall look at further impliementation of the in game chat system

for the rest of the week

for the rest of the week i shall be making 3d models required to give the 3d world the desired look and feel before i demo it on tuesday

This video shows the new GUI and the avatar creation page

This week

I have completely rebuilt the system, i know have a program which allows users to log in and choose their avatar and then move on to the chat screen i am now working on the messaging system GUI and hopefully getting it to work

This Week, I shall be ......

.... re working the targeting system so that it includes,

the username a player chooses when they log in

can open up an new GUI Area

Other activities may develop, they will be posted here as well

I have just spotted another problem, and this is a pretty big one. when i try to build the environment as a webplayer app the environment will not find the sever and there for not work this is may lead to me slightly changing my enitital idea

What i have done so far

Online

I have got a system which allows the user to log on to a local sever. The sever is a smart fox server and as far as i can tell the system is a Peer to peer system, this is hardly ideal but is fine for the testing that is on going.

Messaging

The messaging system at the moment is a targeting system, i need to work out a way of taking the user name (chosen when a user logs in ) and displaying it above the user, Rather than the standard text that currently exists. the user should then press M to message however my test of the GUI to have been unsucessful.

User Generated Avatar.

At this moment in time the user can select a model from one of my two designs they can then pick a hat and a pair off arms. At this time i can not get the hat and the arms to rotate with the main model, they can and do rotate independently but i would prefer them to rotate together. I am also not sure if the coding works how I originally intended it to. The models are made in Blender, i would prefer for the final models to be made in Maya because Maya is used widely in the games industry,

next week i will be probably going back to the messaging system

This week

This week I have been working on the targeting system which will be used as a part of the messaging system so far far it is work. However the next stage has baffled me so I will have to talk to Fredrick next week

progress ?

i have started to implement the messaging system i have the targeting system working and i am exploring the next step

Messageing system design idea

This week I shall be .......

..... Looking at the messaging system with in Vertu I have a clear idea in place and will be working on that this week
